Jim1911, is correct. I uploaded a pet package for BibleTime-2.8.1, It has a couple of bug fixes patched in. It requires the qt4, clucene, and sword packages installed. Please note the the qt4 package requires a reboot. Jim and Joe reported 'Install Works' wasn't downloading. That turned out to be a problem with the QT4 packages. I had some files in the qt4-dev package that should have been in the regular qt4 pet. I've re-uploaded the qt4 pets.

Thanks, your fix works great.

Sorry to be the spoiler Kirk, but after removing and re-installing the latest qt4 (rebooted), sword, clucene, and Bibletime, still nogo on being able to download via 'Install Works' feature. Again, while I have the modules I need (downloaded manually), just thinking about someone else who may need this feature. Thanks!

jg.fw.tx - Please lighten up. Kirk was just trying to help. Take care.

There is no need to use bold fonts as it looks like you are screaming at kirk.

I will ask Murga to stop you if you continue to post in bold type.

i don't know what you are talking about, Eric, i wrote in the default font with a "large" font size (it says size=18) and that is NOT screaming in any kind of parlance i know of online.

i am quite aghast at the misrecognition of attempted humor here, @joe0855 and @Caneri, but @frankly it doesn't matter. what matters are answers. from a perhaps verbose post directed @kirk, only HE gave me one.

I'm sorry, it wasn't meant that way. Most new users just don't notice the FAQs.

my humor is sometimes too dry for a few people, i know. no need to apologize, i understand users, new or used. i guess that's why i often prefer computers to people, even though they don't chuckle at puns. yet.

LibreOffice won't load because it says sfs 3 is required and the package is sfs 4.

There's a fix for that on page three of this thread or better yet just use the BootManager. This will be fixed in 521, coming soon.

BootManager did not work before - it does not find or see the VirtualBox package, the 2 i d/l-ed, anyway. even moving them out of the spot folder. BootManager did see a LibreOffice i d/l-ed, but tossed the sfs error at me.

as for "page 3", on my widescreen i have 7 full pages and 1 partial page of this thread, arranged newest to oldest, and even going backwards i cannot find a fix for the problem. perhaps i am missing something...? wait, one more rewind to be kind and i see an sfs-load-fix.pet. is that it?

i might not have to just wait for 521, lemme reboot out of Puppy into Fatdog64 and try...

appreciate the answer, i'll give'er all i've got, cap'n. regards, jon

I am wondering if adding his Pesonalize Settings to the Menu>Setup would have a positive or negative impact in FATDOG?

@JamesBond helped me with an understanding of the steps REQUIRED to set up a VirtualBox on FATDOG several months ago.
I also understand the request being made here in this thread for VirtualBox guidance.
I also understand that when VirtualBox installs, it becomes one of subsystems similar as is CUPS or SAMBA or etc.

Question
Would it be appropriate to ask that someone start a new thread titled VirtualBOX discussion for the 64bit kernels that are now present in Puppyland?

I, for one, would also welcome an OTB VirtualBox (VB) solution that would use Puppy as a Host to exploit my 64bit systems and its RAM. I would consider this a new thread and a separate thread because of the additional elements that are unique in its use in a 64bit host.

In that forum thread we could discuss Host setup, Host assist, VM setup, VM assists, and specifically address the differing incarnations of Puppy Linux, (Live media-RAM based, Frugal based), Win8, Win7-Vista, XP, and other virtual machines that would run via the 64bit Fatdog/LightHouse64 Host(s). This has particular basis as the thread would certainly help in guiding and understanding some of the peculiarities within the host such that successful operations of the virtual machines, the network(s), and the internal operations of the peripherals that the individual virtual machines would see and attempt usage as they run under the auspices of the 64bit host.

The thread would allow everyone to contribute along the lines of VM Host and allow concentration(s) on the virtual machines that pose quirks when running in a VM host environment. Many of these things do not surface in the "normal non-VM" use.

Hope this helps. I don't feel that I have the skill level to start this AND IF IT IS STARTED, it WILL NEED THE ASSISTANCE of the 64bit Distro developers. The reasons for this need is obvious: Their distros will be host for the VM subsystems that will be added.

Lastly, before even going further, I have already reported to Kirk that there are remaining problems in the "hostname" implementation that SHOULD be fixed should progress with a thread like this move forward. This problem does NOT exist in the LH64 PUP implementation. This most certainly will need to be addressed at some point if for no other reason than the fact that using a VB host subsystem will allow any user to add multiple virtual machines to the LANs such that a means of being able to assign meaningful names to the virtual FATDOGs that may come into play will become even more necessary. Better to fix the problem now, than wait, I feel.

I am on record as highlighting the Great work of Kirk and Jamesbond on the product. I have been a user for quite a while. I believe that this continues to be a stellar within the Puppy Linux community And I again, applaud the work of everyone who has contributed items which have made this a great-great OS for our use.

Question

great idea, and yes, i'd be glad to contribute whatever tidbits i can glean from using any 64 bit Puppy in any host and guest environments. not that i'm by any standard an expert, more a lazy user. since i'm lazy i'm always trying to find the easiest, cheapest, fastest, least complicated way to do something.

while my own interests in VirtualBox are aimed at 64 bit because it's the only platform that offers effective and full use of all the base computer hardware, more than 3 Gb of RAM, and 64 or 32 bit guests, i realize there's lots of 32 bit users who could benefit from VirtualBox. there's a lot of crossover commonality.

but on the subject of threads - and everybody should be aware i'm a newcomer to the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum and its established protocols - i can see distinct advantages in forming a new "Advanced Topic" that addresses 64 bit things (as opposed to Puppy's de facto 32 bit).

regardless of the possible preponderance 32 bit machines and OSs in the wild, the industry trend toward 64 bit was irreversibly established some years ago. sometimes backward compatibility is overemphasized - but i digress... 64 bit is here to stay. yea, even though only 3/8 of my machines here are 64 bit they're my main ones.

so a 64 bit VirtualBox thread is one thing, but a 64 bit (Puppy Linux) thread would be broader and could include a lot more. that's my 2 devalued American cents.

i was loading LibreOfffice - thanks, kirk, the pet worked - and tried to double check the md5 checksum against the downloaded .sfs file, but couldn't find any app to do that in Fatdog64. am i missing something...?

anyway, it did install fine anyway but then protested strongly there wasn't any JRE loaded. uhm. more dependencies...

the only JRE i could find was in Fatdog64's ibiblio index, but it's an .sfs. i'm wondering how fast i'm going to reach the 5 .sfs limt...

nothing is showing up in package manager, so i'm going to reboot and see if they pop up.
